Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?
"We should be giving students a quality public education. If parents do not feel that the public school system is providing the expected level of education for their children, they should have the right to choose an alternate system that best serves their child's education."
